The castle was quiet after the battle… too quiet.
Meera's hands still glowed faintly from the fight, adrenaline coursing through her veins.
Arvian stood silently beside her, eyes scanning every shadow.
Even he seemed unsettled.
💔 Thump… thump… thump…
Suddenly, a chilling voice echoed through the hall:
"Did you think it would be that easy, King Arvian?"
From the darkness, the enemy leader stepped forward.
"You've trained her… protected her… but she doesn't even know what she is."
Meera's heart froze.
"What… what do you mean?"
The leader smirked.
"Her blood carries a curse older than your kingdom.
A power that will consume her… and anyone who stands by her."
Arvian's eyes narrowed, crimson glowing brighter.
"Explain," he demanded, his voice deadly.
The leader's gaze flicked to Meera.
"You are not just the key… you are the weapon… and the threat.
If your power awakens fully, it could destroy everything you love—including him."
💔 Meera's chest tightened…
Her blood felt hot, heavy… her pulse racing.
She looked at Arvian.
"Destroy… everything?" she whispered.
Arvian stepped forward, placing a protective hand on her shoulder.
"You will not face this alone," he said, voice trembling slightly.
"I… I can't lose you."
Meera's eyes filled with tears.
"I don't even understand it myself… but I—"
Her words were cut off as the enemy vanished, leaving a lingering shadow in the hall.
Alone, Meera trembled.
Arvian held her close, protective, his fangs just barely visible.
"You must trust me… your strength, your heart," he whispered.
"Whatever comes… we face it together."
💗 Her heart raced—not just from fear, but from the closeness of the vampire king.
Ayaan peeked from the corner.
"You two… you're even stranger together now," he muttered with a small grin.
Meera blushed furiously.
Arvian's crimson eyes lingered on her, soft yet intense, a silent promise of protection and desire.
